ladder climbing in academia is not fun, but I feel like communicating (or marketing) science is a essential part of scientific process, as this is the only way for our work to maximize their impact.
A famous professor once told me “we are all entertainers”, which seems absurd from an outside prospective, but is a notion that I and many of my colleague has now taken peace with.
Scrambled and unreadable mathematics in the end should seldom be valued in modern science community, IMO; not everyone is Ramanujan after all. Even among geniuses, from Poincaré to Hilbert to Godel to Grothendick and to Tao, most genius are able to communicate their research quite well, and thrive in academia.
